Decaf is a three-column, fluid-width theme for Moodle that was created by Lei Zhang and Paul Nicholls. It improves usability by fixing an "Awesomebar" at the top of the screen, which provides dropdown menus containing everything in the Navigation and Settings blocks.
For developers, it also transforms the performance info into a colorful bar which floats at the bottom of the screen, which increases awareness of the performance statistics.

- Wed, 6 May 2015, 9:48 AMFollowing up on my post about Videoeasy and Decaf.
Still faulting.
I've updated the Issue report on GIT. https://github.com/CTANZ/moodle-theme_decaf/issues/21
- Fri, 8 May 2015, 8:16 PMLori,
Thank you so much, that worked.
- Mon, 25 May 2015, 8:05 AMIn the decaf GIT, does anyone now the difference between the master and responsive branches?
- Wed, 27 May 2015, 7:55 AMSorry about the dumb questions guys. Of course someone knows the difference.
A little more of a considered post.
The other day Gareth posted this: "adding Awesome Bar into Essential for Desktops only (as it looks bad on mobiles)" - https://moodle.org/plugins/view/theme_essential
I assumed the new Decaf was responsive, including the Awesome Bar. I have never used our main Moodle on mobile. When I looked on Sunday we have no AB when I use a mobile. Is this a problem of our setup?
Our Decaf version: 2014010 - 2.0.5613 How can I tell if this has responsive elements in it or not for AB?
Should we be using the download from the responsive branch on Git?
- Wed, 27 May 2015, 4:32 PMDerek,
At the top of this page are screenshots of decaf including one for a mobile device.
You access the awesomebar using the 'burger button' as Paul calls it (top right).
I've already found that if you want custom menus, these are best attached to the awesome bar for display on mobiles.
You can simulate a mobile by reducing your browser window on your PC (at least that works for me)
BTW I have the same release of decaf (2.05 - the latest) which says it's for 2.8 but it works for me on 2.9 and even the 3.0 dev branch.
- Thu, 18 Jun 2015, 9:10 PMFirst things first, thx for this Awesome theme!! :P
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thx again!
- Sat, 19 Dec 2015, 12:18 PMJason, maybe you have moved on since you posted in June, or did you find an answer.
I'm not sure if you need to use Javascript for this. I presume you have checked the CSS with something like the developers tools in Chrome.
I can see why you want this. In one of the Moodles I work with there is a strong feeling that many of the users do NOT want the rollover since they move their cursor to the top so often and get it then they don't want it. We did I think try to adjust the rollover time so it did not kick in so fast.
- Sun, 27 Dec 2015, 4:28 AMAwesome Bar and responsiveness.
I have just re-read Richards post from last year here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=252385#p1094468
Where is the AB at regarding responsiveness?
How are people working with this aspect?
Is it best to have a Mobile theme as well as Decaf?
Just curious.

- Tue, 26 Apr 2016, 2:34 AMHello,
We just upgraded our Moodle environment from 2.7 to 2.8. We have upgraded the Decaf theme to 2.1.0. In Moodle 2.7, the freeze user column in the grader report worked normally. However, the user column no longer freezes in Moodle 2.8 using the decaf theme (with or without Ajax enabled). However, it freezes normally when switching to the Clean theme. Is there a workaround for this, since we would really like to continue to use the Decaf theme?
- Wed, 22 Jun 2016, 10:40 PMHi Combs,
If you are talking about the floating user colum in the grader report.
In core.css -> report section change:
body.pagelayout-report #page-content #region-main {
body.pagelayout-report #page-content #region-main {
this should fix the floating user colum issue.
- Sat, 19 Nov 2016, 12:16 PMFor those interested in the Decaf theme, see this Fan Post on Moodle News: http://www.moodlenews.com/2016/moodle-theme-decaf-has-one-soul-alleviating-feature/
- Fri, 23 Dec 2016, 2:51 PMI've just spent some time playing with Boost. I wonder if Awesome Bar has any future with this? I've wondered if the AB could be included just for use with desktops?
- Fri, 17 Aug 2018, 8:16 PMIn the navbar breadcrumbs how to change the color of the text, currently the text is a light gray.
- Fri, 17 Aug 2018, 10:56 PMRon, I added these changes to the /waxed/colours/Raw SCSS field and it made the changed I needed.

You will love this incredibly moist carrot cake recipe with ultra-creamy cream cheese frosting. This is a must make! Jump to the Easy Carrot Cake Recipe or watch our quick recipe video below to see how we make it.
It wasn't until recently that we actually realized just how much we love carrot cake. It wasn't really something either of us grew up with. Working on a hunch, we started trying a bunch of recipes and cakes at local shops. We fell in love. We especially have fallen in love with this incredibly moist carrot cake recipe.
How To Make the Cake Extra Moist
What we love is that you can make this cake quickly and easily without lots of fancy equipment.
Just bowls, a whisk and spatula are all that's needed for the cake itself. It comes together really quickly. Simply whisk the dry ingredients together, whisk the wet ingredients together then combine. Add carrots and nuts and you're done.
Add Lots of Carrots
Three whole cups of carrots are added to this cake. When we first tested it, we scaled that back to two cups since three cups just sounded a bit extreme. After baking and letting it cool, we were a little disappointed.
So if you're making the cake and start to second guess the amount of carrots called for in our recipe below, don't. All three cups are welcomed here, they make the cake.
To bake, we divide the batter between two buttered and floured cake pans. The cake layers will bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes (they smell amazing). Once baked, we let the layers cool completely then add our extra creamy cream cheese frosting.
YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: This easy banana bread recipe with ripe bananas, flour, butter, eggs and spices. This one is so good, you'll want to make 2 loaves. Jump to the full Banana Bread Recipe.
Ultra-Creamy Frosting
The frosting is actually the same one we used to top our Guinness Chocolate Cake. It's made with cream cheese, powdered sugar and heavy cream and is absolutely delicious.
If you're not into frostings or if you don't have the ingredients on hand, try the cake as-is without any frosting at all. Or, sift a little powdered sugar on top. When Adam and I were testing this recipe, we skipped the frosting the first couple of times and actually fell in love with the cake completely plain.

Recipe updated, originally posted April 2014. Since posting this in 2014, we have tweaked the recipe to be more clear and added a quick recipe video. – Adam and Joanne
Incredibly Moist and Easy Carrot Cake Recipe
This carrot cake is incredibly moist and light. It's up to you when it comes to the grated carrots. You can hand grate for the finest carrot pieces that sort of melt into the cake batter. A food processor makes quick work of grating carrots, but the pieces will be slightly larger. This is what we do and find it works really well in the cake. A third option is to use pre-grated carrots from the store. They work very well and help with prep time. The cake is very forgiving. You can make this with or without nuts and raisins. We like using both granulated and brown sugar in this — you could just use granulated sugar, though.
**The creamy frosting recipe shared below is a soft frosting and is not ideal for frosting the entire cake. It is more of a stabilized whipped cream consistency than traditional cream cheese frosting.
You Will Need
2 cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups (295 ml) canola or other vegetable oil
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
1 cup (200 grams) lightly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
3 cups (300 grams) grated peeled carrots (5 to 6 medium carrots)
1 cup (100 grams) coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup (65 grams) raisinsFrosting
8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups (140 grams) powdered sugar
1/3 cup (80 ml) heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup (50 grams) coarsely chopped pecans, for topping cake
- Make Batter
- Bake Cake
- To Finish
Heat the oven to 350º F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottom with parchment paper then grease the top of the paper. Or, grease and flour the bottom and sides of both pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and the cinnamon until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, sugars and vanilla. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until blended.
Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, stirring gently until they disappear and the batter is smooth. Stir in the carrots, nuts and raisins.
Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake until the tops of the cake layers are springy when touched and when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean; 35 to 45 minutes.
Cool cakes in pans for 15 minutes then turn out onto cooling racks, peel off parchment paper and cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with a handheld mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in the powdered sugar, a 1/4 cup at a time until fluffy. Pour in cream and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Chill covered until ready to frost cake.
When the cake layers are completely cool, frost the top of one cake layer, place the other cake layer on top. Decoratively swirl the top of the cake with remaining frosting, leaving the sides unfrosted. Scatter nuts on top.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Preparing the Cake Pans: Even though it is a bit time consuming, don't skimp on prepping the pans. It's never fun to find your cake layer is stuck to the bottom of your pan. (If this does happen to you, leave the cake pan upside down and allow gravity to do its thing).
- How to Make Carrot Cake Cupcakes: For cupcakes, we'd recommend baking for 14 to 18 minutes (or until a tester inserted into the center of one comes out clean). Then let them cool for a few minutes in the cupcake pan before transferring them to a cooling rack. The recipe should make about 24 cupcakes.
- Using a bundt pan: We have never done this in our kitchen, but a 10-cup or 12-cup Bundt pan should be fine for this recipe. You will likely need to increase the baking time by about 30% in the 10-cup pan, somewhat less in the 12-cup.
- Using a 9-inch by 13-inch pan rectangular pan: Simple add all the batter to the rectangular pan and bake. The bake time should be similar.
- We use kosher salt. If you don't have it on hand, keep this in mind: 1 teaspoon fine sea or table salt = about 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt.
- Recipe inspired and adapted from Smitten Kitchen's Recipe for Carrot Cake.
- Nutrition facts: The nutrition facts provided below are estimates. We have used the USDA Supertracker recipe calculator to calculate approximate values. We assumed 22 slices of cake.

Q. Is it acceptable to install communication cable in the same lighting pole that is being used as a raceway for lighting conductors?
A. Only if there is a barrier or listed divider between the communication cable and the power conductors. Communications conductors must not be placed in any raceway, compartment, outlet box, junction box, or similar fitting with conductors of electric light, power, or Class 1 circuits [800.133(A)(1)(d)].
Ex 1: Communications circuits can be within the same enclosure with conductors of electric light, power, and Class 1 circuits, where separated by a permanent barrier or listed divider.
Separation is required to prevent a fire or shock hazard that can occur from a short between the communications circuits and the higher-voltage circuits.

Potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes-- boiled, roasted, mashed and sometimes fried. Spuds rule in my kitchen, and they are a staple. I have mastered the art of perfect creamy garlic mashed potatoes. I have had great luck with one of my most viewed posts for heavenly (and healthy) version of "Garlic Oven Fries". "Pioneer Woman's Crash Potatoes are hugely popular on our dinner table, too. Thanks to Food Network's newest star, Melissa d'Arabian, I have found a fool-proof way to master crispy potatoes. I have an easy recipe for stove top cracked fingerling potatoes that has been my faithful busy work night "go to", but I think this recipe has moved up a few notches as one my favorite way to serve potatoes.
What's so special about this recipe? I'd say it's more of a technique that involves three cooking steps-- saute', steam and roast. I made this side dish to accompany Melissa's Crispy Skinned Easy Chicken a l'Orange.
You will need a skillet with a lid and a baking sheet-- unless you have an oven-proof skillet that is large enough to spread an even layer of potatoes. I'll show you what I mean in a moment. Preheat your oven to 375F.
Start with three Russett potaotes (you could easily substitute Yukon Golds or Red Bliss potaotes, skin on).
Peel them, and dice them into uniform cubes-- like this:
Saute' for about five minutes...
Steam the potatoes until the water evaporates, about 3 or 4 more minutes. (Every 1 to 2 minutes, open the lid long enough to stir the potatoes so they don't stick.)Lower the heat to medium, and saute another 1 to 2 minutes until all traces of water are gone.

MADISON, WI - OCTOBER 14: Nick Nelson
Typically, the Wisconsin linebackers get a lot of attention for the Badger defense and I certainly contribute to that. After all,
Charm Bracelet Hexagram 23 Po by VIDA VIDA ayzvSpWM
at the LB depth chart injuries before the season.
But on Saturday, while the linebackers put in their typical shift, the defensive backfield rose up and smothered the Purdue offense.
Wisconsin defensive backs recorded six of the eight pass breakups on Saturday. Wisconsin safeties and cornerbacks also added 16 of the 49 Wisconsin tackles.
It was another example of the nice season Badger secondary is putting together. The defensive backfield is a major reason the Wisconsin defense is brimming with confidence.
This year, Wisconsin welcomed Hawaii transfer Nick Nelson. They shifted Natrell Jamerson to safety opposite D'Cota Dixon. Derrick Tindal took another outside corner spot. The youngest member of the bunch, freshman Dontye Carriere-Williams is also getting lots of snaps.
Dixon leads the Badgers in tackles with 39, and

in 3.5 tackles-for-loss. Jamerson has an equal number of TFLs. Unsurprisingly, the Wisconsin secondary has 25 of the 31 pass break ups for the season .

Favorite old T-shirts find new life as skirts
Aug. 08, 2013
Remember that old REM concert T-shirt from 1989? Or the shirt from the 10K race where you set a personal best?
It's a shame they're living in the back of your closet, because they don't have to.
Recycled into a skirt, our nostalgic Ts get to parade again in public.
Denise Chaudhari makes three styles of skirt out of rock-band T-shirts: a casual, asymmetrical skirt, a simple a-line and a more professional-looking skirt for flaunting at the office.
"Everybody has (old T-shirts) in their drawer, and they're not flattering to wear," says Chaudhari, of Lafayette, Colo.
"They won't wear them, but they won't get rid of them."
Chaudhari's answer is these flirty skirts, made from T's and color-coordinating jersey fabric. She began a few years ago by pilfering from her husband's storied collection, and then friends shared their old T's. Today, Chaudhari trolls thrift stores — those near universities are the best — and buys in bulk from concert T-shirt wholesalers.
Bands from the '80s, punk rock and the Beatles sell the best, she says.
"Punk is cool to wear, even if you don't listen to it," says Chaudhari, 43. "It's cool to wear a Ramones (T-shirt skirt)."
Sally Lang, of Salem, Oregon, makes her own version of the T-shirt skirt, often incorporating rock-band images, although she says good rock T's are hard to find at thrift stores. In her neck of the woods, tie dye rules. The dynamic colors and patterns translate into eye-catching skirts.
"In Oregon, we're kind of obsessed with tie dye," says Lang.
In Chaudhari's experience selling her skirts at craft fairs, buyers who don't have a favorite band gravitate to the T-shirt skirts that feature a guitar or other generic, musical image, or to super-hero graphics. She also recommends making recycled skirts from T-shirts from races, non-profits — even sarcastic T's.
Often, she puts those into her children's clothing line, which she sells at her online shop, Dandy Social Club.
"Something like 'the Sarcasm Committee' or 'Sugar Daddy,' with an image of the candy — those are even funnier on a kid's shirt," Chaudhari says.
Lang, 55, who sells her T-shirt skirts amid other recycled clothing at her online Etsy shop, Thankful Rose, buys T's made from 100 percent cotton. Flimsier, lighter-weight T's don't hold up. Besides tie dye and rock T's, she hunts for paisley patterns and solid colors for mixing in.
She admits to being obsessed with creating her "upcycled" clothing line. If she has the fabric picked out, she can make a T-shirt skirt in about two hours.
"It's a process and I love every minute of it," Lang says.
Besides enjoying the hunt for unusual T's, both women say the shirts are the easiest, most cost-effective way to incorporate inventive and clever graphics into their skirts.
"You can't just go to the fabric store and buy some of the cool prints that you see on T-shirts," says Lang.
Before turning to T's, Chaudhari looked into screen-printing her own images, but it was expensive and time-consuming.
T-shirt images provide "endless surprises," Chaudhari says. "Now you're upcycling and you're incorporating a band people love, and it's comfortable like a T-shirt, like an old friend."
Chaudhari and Lang have different methods for sewing T-shirt skirts. See examples of their skirts at their websites, and view others at Pinterest.com. The online site Craft Stylish shares a free, illustrated tutorial for an a-line skirt made from two T-shirts of coordinated colors.

Washington, DC—June 13, 2018….Today, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed Congressman Dan Donovan's legislation to help better protect innocent children from predators. The bipartisan will ban the importation and transportation of child sex dolls. Pedophiles buy and sell the lifelike silicone dolls, which resemble children as young as three years old, through online websites and marketplaces.
Congressman Donovan said, "Right now, a few clicks on a computer can allow a predator to order a vile child sex doll. This is not only disturbing – but also endangers the most innocent among us. Once an abuser tires of practicing on a doll, it's a small step to move on to a child. My bill takes necessary steps to stop these sickening dolls from reaching our communities. We must protect children from those who wish them harm. I thank Chairman Goodlatte and House leadership for bringing this important legislation to the floor, and I implore the Senate to swiftly move it forward."
Child sex dolls are anatomically accurate renderings of young children, and include "accessories" such as false eyelashes, wigs, warming devices, and cleaning tools. They may also be customized to feature lifelike facial expressions, including sadness and fear. The dolls, which are imported from China, Hong Kong, and Japan, are purposely labeled as mannequins or models to avoid detection in the mail. Recent seizures of these dolls in the United States, UK and other global market places have highlighted the need for legislation to address this disturbing activity. There are currently no laws in the U.S. to prevent the proliferation of child sex dolls.
Law enforcement agents have said that the purchases of child sex dolls can indicate a history of offenses against children. In fact, of the 128 dolls seized in the UK, 85% percent of the men who imported them were also found in possession of child pornography. Additionally, psychologists and researchers believe that these dolls reinforce, normalize, and encourage pedophilic behavior, potentially putting more children at risk to harm.
Donovan's proposal has received support from child and ethics advocacy organizations, including Safe Horizon, Stop Abuse Campaign, Stop Child Predators, Foundation for Responsible Robotics, and Campaign Against Sex Robots. A Change.org petition supporting thehas received more than 166,000 supportive signatures.
While similar bans already exist in Australia and the United Kingdom, Donovan's bill will be the first legislation in the United States to address this alarming problem.
The bill will now go to the Senate for consideration.

Can't get enough of the '69 Camaro
Rich Gregory has a long history of enjoying the best four-wheeled machines Chevrolet offers, including his personal collection of Chevelles and Corvettes. But once the Barrington resident laid eyes on a neighbor's 1969 Camaro, his passion became laser focused on that iconic pony car.
"It was the body style that I fell in love with," he says. "I had never had one and was ready to own one."
Gregory's newfound Camaro interest rapidly raised to a boiling level, and before long the desire for a single car turned into two, three and, eventually, five.
"In addition to the timeless design, there is such nostalgia with the year 1969," Gregory says. "It was the year I graduated from college and it is neat to go back to your roots and relive the good old days."
With such an impressive fleet, the only thing missing was a suitable place to store them. "Our home garage could accommodate three vehicles but when you wanted to make room to work on something, you had to put one outside in the weather."
When the fourth '69 Camaro came along in 2003, the die was cast: a separate garage was in immediate order. Rich was on board, but his wife wasn't so convinced. "She was worried about losing her view of the backyard and having it be an eyesore."
To put her mind at peace, Gregory trudged out to the yard and marked out the planned floor space with stakes while she watched from her kitchen window. Now that she could visualize the massive structure's footprint, she consented.
With her blessing, Gregory set about creating his custom space. Radiant floor heat keeps his feet warm during those long winter days, wood paneling covers up drab concrete walls and lumber framing and period décor sets the '60s cruising mood. The project started in January 2005 and was completed by mid summer.
As for the rolling art, Gregory has accumulated his classics from around the Midwest region. The Garnet Red Copo Camaro clone was purchased in 2007 in Richmond and now packs a NOM 427-cubic-inch V-8 engine from another 1969 car. The Lemans Blue Z/28 coupe is the lone out of area find, coming from Denver in 2000.
The Daytona Yellow Yenko was sold new at Jack Douglass Chevrolet in Hinsdale and was purchased by Gregory from a friend in Madison, Wis., in 2003 while the Daytona Yellow Rally Sport Z/28 was found in downstate Decatur in 1998.
Not only does Rich enjoy the cruising side of the hobby but also the fast-paced side, hammering on his Pro-Tour Camaro race car. The high performance vehicle was custom built to handle track abuse; it packs a GM Crate Fastburn 385 c.i. V-8, a Tremac five-speed transmission, Detroit Engineering suspension plus their triple adjustable shocks, and Wilwood six-piston front and 4-piston rear disc brakes.
"The garage is done and it's my dream 'man cave' design," Gregory says. "My buddies call it the 'Garage Mahal' but at its core, its just clean storage and display with enough separate room for getting dirty."
With the project complete, one may wonder what Rich's wife thinks of the classic car paradise.
"She always kids and says, 'It would be nice to have one room in the house as nice as this!' All in all, she's been very agreeable and still enjoys her view."

Hendrick fires Rams to cup win
For the second time in three days Jeff Hendrick proved to be Derby's man on the spot, grabbing the second-half goal which broke Carlisle's brave resistance and secured a 2-0 win in the Capital One Cup first-round tie at Brunton Park.
Hendrick, who netted the winner in Derby's Championship opener on Saturday, was unmarked at the far post when he headed in Will Hughes' cross, and Derby secured victory in added time when Chris Martin sidefooted a right-wing cross home from six yards.
Teenage forward Kyle Dempsey almost marked his full debut for Carlisle with a goal when he fired in a shot from the left edge of the area which was deflected over Lee Grant's crossbar for a corner.
The League Two side made a bright start, but Derby dominated as the first half went on and Mark Gillespie did well to deny Jamie Ward who screwed his follow-up shot wide of the far post after the goalkeeper pushed out his initial header.
Gillespie saved brilliantly from Martin's header but there was nothing he could do minutes later when Martin lashed in a shot which had the goalkeeper beaten but glanced off the bar.
Carlisle almost shocked their Championship opponents with a 25-yard free-kick by David Symington which rattled the crossbar. Grant got his fingertips to the shot to make a crucial deflection.
Derby finally broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute when Hendrick drifted in at the far post to nod home Hughes' right-wing cross from two yards out, and Martin added the second in the dying stages.

Convened by
The Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership
Bloch School of Management at the
University of Missouri - Kansas City
and The Nonprofit Quarterly
Co-Sponsored by the Alliance for Nonprofit Management
April 4-5, 2013
Embassy Suite on the Country Club Plaza
Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.A.
The Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership and The Nonprofit Quarterly, in collaboration with the Alliance for Nonprofit Management, are pleased to announce and invite you to attend our 2013 Nonprofit Governance Conference. Over the last decade we have witnessed many events and changes that have affected the pace and scope of the nonprofit sector. This year's conference theme - Critical Conversations on the Future of Nonprofit Governance - not only reflects the growing interest we observe in various governance related issues across the globe but also challenges practitioners and researchers to consider from multiple perspectives the emerging shape of governance and the future of board work.
This highly participative conference will employ the Midwest Center model that has been successful in our previous academic-practitioner conferences. It serves as a relatively intimate gathering of those who are serious about sharing and shaping governance ideas and learning, and it will offer multiple opportunities for formal and informal discussion and dialogue among the consultants, executives, and academics who are most engaged in addressing these challenges. A key element of the conference is sharing highlights and insights emerging from recent governance research. Equally valuable are the opportunities to build on and go beyond the theory and research - for experienced leaders who are exploring new and innovative strategies and approaches in their communities and organizations to share their perspectives in facilitated and informal discussions. Half of the conference sessions will be facilitated (non-presentation) dialogue sessions, each focused on a specific issue or topic of interest.
Research on nonprofit boards and governance has developed substantially in the past decade, and important insights have emerged as scholars and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and fields are providing rigorous and new knowledge about governance and boards. Significant progress notwithstanding, practitioners and scholars alike continue to find it a challenge to understand the complex and changing nature of nonprofit governance and the boards that engage in it. Among the key topics we expect to explore at this year's conference:
Social Entrepreneurship and Governance
Boards of nonprofit organizations are mandated to behave as prudent stewards of resources, yet they also are exhorted to become more entrepreneurial and take new kinds of risks. How are boards responding, and what are the implications of such expectations for boards and the practice of governance? Is there such a thing as socially-entrepreneurial governance?
Advances of Information Technology and Governance
How are emerging technologies and information systems advances affecting governance systems and the ways they work? Are social media and social networking technologies changing the dynamics of governance? What are the short-and long-term effects of new technology on key governance functions?
Networks, Hybrid Structures and Innovations in Governance
New and unique forms of organization and organized action are being developed, including various forms of networks and other distributed systems of service delivery, and there are many questions about how these evolving forms of organization are being led and governed. A special area of interest is the changing nature of movement networks. Further, as nonprofit and for-profit forms of enterprise continue to blend, what are we learning about social enterprise governance that might help us understand the governance for each?
Nonprofit and Public Sector Governance
What are we learning about important differences and similarities, and what should we be studying as we examine governance at the intersection of public sector and nonprofit sector work? Are there overarching frameworks or models that might be useful to help us understand governance across all sectors and levels?
Power, Influence and Inclusion
Who really governs nonprofit organizations? What actors in and around nonprofits have the power to influence governance and with what consequences? What are we learning about the implications of having more or less inclusive governance arrangements and systems in place?
The Future of Research on Nonprofit Boards and Governance
As we identify and work to understand all of these kinds of challenges and dynamics, are we developing new research models or methods that are better suited to the next generation of governance research? Where should we enhance our fields of inquiry?
The conference is designed to be a relatively intimate gathering of those who are serious about sharing and shaping governance ideas and learning. To facilitate active dialogue, the conference will be limited to 150 participants, about half of whom will be nonprofit and community leaders and practitioners.
Questions about the conference may be directed to conference co-directors:

- Author: Kathy Keatley Garvey
Paul de Barro, a senior principal research scientist at CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences, Australia, will speak on "Unraveling the Complex: Who's Who in the Bemisia Zoo?" at the UC Davis Department of Entomology seminar from 12:10 to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 30 in Room 1022 of the Life Sciences Addition.
De Barro, who joined CSRO in 1994 (the acronym stands for Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization and is Australia's governmental body for scientific research) will be covering the silverleaf whitefly from biotype to species. He will be introduced by Michael Parrella, professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
De Barro, who holds a doctorate in entomology from the University of Adelaide, South Australia, is internationally known for his research on the pest.
The tiny (it's 1/16th of an inch) pest may be small but it wreaks major havoc on agricultural and ornamental crops worldwide. Its 500-plus hosts include broccoli, cabbage, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, pomegranate, poinsettia, garden roses, crepe myrtle, and lantana. It transfers such viruses as the tomato yellow leaf curl virus.
"The identity of Bemisia tabaci is a taxonomic question that goes back to 1889 and involves one of the world's most important pests of agriculture, which despite its importance, has remained a taxonomic puzzle," he says. "Each year it destroys billions of dollars worth of crops in both developed and developing economies across Africa, Asia and the Americas. In developing economies, it reduces the ability for communities to be self-sufficient in terms of food production and reduces their capacity to generate the cash essential to alleviating poverty."
"Yet despite its global importance, its taxonomy remains confused. Is it a single species with varying populations that exhibit different biological characteristics (i.e. biotypes) or a complex of morphologically similar species with different biological characteristics?"
That's important to know, de Barro points out, because the answer "has a significant bearing on on the applicability and transferability of management practices between regions where the pest occurs, as these usually depend on insect biology, behavior, natural enemies interactions and responses to agricultural chemicals; what works for certain populations may be ineffective for other populations."
So in tomorrow's talk, he'll summarize "our understanding of the species complex and some the new learnings that are emerging as a result of the emerging new lens through which top view this pest."
His talk will be recorded for later viewing on UCTV.

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Rabbit in New Mexico
Rabbits can make good pets in New Mexico if they match your IifestyIe. Rabbits are adorable, soft animals that make popular pets for children. While a rabbit can make a good pet for a child, keep in mind that to be healthy a rabbit requires a quiet, calm living environment. Please only adopt a rabbit if you feel you can create a safe and quiet space for the rabbit in your home. Rabbits can be housetrained to live inside, out of a cage, which dramatically increases their life spans. Rabbits can live as long as a dog or a cat, and unfortunately some people do not approach the decision to get a rabbit with the same seriousness or commitment they might have about getting a dog. Meanwhile, breeders may separate young rabbits from their mothers too early, which damages their immune systems, and pet stores might provide very little information about proper care and nutrition. As a result, countless rabbits die within weeks of being bought. Others are never spayed or neutered, resulting in unanticipated family additions and a major overpopulation problem. Sadly, the majority of these sweet pets are eventually euthanized. Rescue shelters that accept rabbits are often overflowing. If you are planning to bring home a pet rabbit, please adopt!

To promote bicycling and transportation efficiency and reduce vehicle distance traveled. To improve public health by encouraging utilitarian and recreational physical activity.
Bicycle Network
Locate the space in a building such that a functional entry and/or the bicycle storage is within a 200-yard (180-meter) walking distance or bicycling distance of a bicycle network that connects to at least one of the following:
- at least 10 diverse uses (see Appendix 1); or
- a bus rapid transit stop, light or heavy rail station, commuter rail station, or ferry terminal.
All destinations must be within a 3-miles (4800-meter) bicycling distance of the project boundary.
Planned bicycle trails or lanes may be counted if they are fully funded by the date of the certificate of occupancy and are scheduled for completion within one year of that date.
Bicycle storage and shower rooms
Provide short-term bicycle storage for at least 2.5% or more of all peak visitors, but no fewer than two storage spaces per project.
Provide long-term bicycle storage for at least 5% of regular building occupants but no fewer than 2 spaces per project in addition to the short-term bicycle spaces.
Provide at least one on-site shower with changing facility for the first 100 regular building occupants and one additional shower for every 150 regular building occupants thereafter.
Short-term bicycle storage must be within 100 feet (30 meters) walking distance of any main entrance. Long-term bicycle storage must be within 100 feet (30 meters) walking distance of any functional entry.
Bicycle storage capacity may not be double-counted: storage that is fully allocated to the occupants of nonproject facilities cannot also serve project occupants.
Alternative Compliance Paths (ACPs)
Europe ACP: Bike Path Width
If the requirements on the width of bike paths cannot be met due to the historic urban context of the project site, compensating measures to reduce street speeds and/or to enhance biking security on routes connecting to a qualifying bike network are acceptable:
- A security lane for biking (marked dedicated bike lane, which can be shared by cars in narrow sections of the street when no bikes are present) or a physically dedicated bike lane less than 5 feet (1.5 meters) wide
- Intersections spaced no more than 400 feet (122 meters) apart
- Travel lane widths no greater than 10 feet (3 meters) and parallel parking lane widths no greater than 8 feet (2.4 meters)
Routes that meet the alternative requirements outlined above must be clearly identified by type within the required documentation.

This activity enables students to better understand the motion of the Sun and how we use it to measure time. Students create a "horizon calendar" at their school by carefully observing and recording the horizon and the Sun at sunset (or sunrise, for... (View More) early risers) over a period of weeks or months. Part 1 of this activity can be done as a whole group and involves selecting and drawing a detailed map of the site. Part 2 of this activity can be done as a whole group and involves determining the direction west and drawing the horizon line. Part 3 should be done by the teacher since it involves making weekly observations at sunset (or sunrise), which is outside of regular school hours. Part 4 can be done with the whole class and involves using the data from the observations to calculate the average rate of change in sunset time and respond to discussion questions. The activity is not time-consuming, but must be conducted over a period of at least a few weeks. It is best as a semester unit, or even a project for the entire school year. Also, the best time of year to run this activity is around the equinoxes: March and September. The lesson plan includes discussion questions, background information about desert horizons, and a math extension activity in which students calculate how the time of sunrise or sunset changes from day to day. This activity is the sixth lesson in the Ancient Eyes Look to the Skies curriculum guide. (View Less)
Materials Cost: 1 cent - $1 per group of students

Don't Give an Oscar to The Reader
We don't need another "redemptive" Holocaust movie.
Read all of Slate's Oscars coverage.
If I hadn't used the locution so recently, I would be certain to call The Reader"The Worst Holocaust Film Ever Made."
Somebody has to say it. I haven't seen others do so in print. And if I'm not the perfect person to do so, I do have some expertise.
And so I will: This is a film whose essential metaphorical thrust is to exculpate Nazi-era Germans from knowing complicity in the Final Solution. The fact that it was recently nominated for a best picture Oscar offers stunning proof that Hollywood seems to believe that if it's a "Holocaust film," it must be worthy of approbation, end of story. And so a film that asks us to empathize with an unrepentant mass murderer and intimates that "ordinary Germans" were ignorant of the extermination until after the war, now stands a good chance of getting a golden statuette.
A deeply depressing indication of how the film misreads the Holocaust can be found in a recent New York Times report on the state of the Oscar race. The paper gave disproportionate attention to The Reader by featuring a wistful-looking still of Kate Winslet above the headline "Films About Personal Triumphs Resonate With Viewers During Awards Season."
What, exactly, was the Kate Winslet character's "personal triumph"? While in prison for participation in an act of mass murder that was particularly gruesome and personal, given the generally impersonal extermination process—as a death camp guard, she helped ensure 300 Jewish women locked in a burning church would die in the fire—she taught herself to read! What a heartwarming fable about the wonders of literacy and its ability to improve the life of an Auschwitz mass murderer!
True, she's unrepentant for the most part about allowing those women and children to burn to death. (Although we do see one scene in which it turns out she's saved some pennies in prison that she wants to be given to the children of the women she murdered—thanks!) But most of what we see of her prison experience is her excitement at her growing literacy skills. Get a load of those pages turning! Reading is fun!
It's been argued that no fictional film can do justice to the events of 1939-45, that only documentaries like Alan Resnais' Night and Fog or Claude Lanzmann's nine-plus-hour-long Shoah can begin to convey the reality of the evil. And there certainly have been execrable failures(example: Life Is Beautiful).I've argued that most of the fictionalized efforts either exhibit a false redemptiveness or an offensive sexual exploitiveness—what some critics have called "Nazi porn." But in recent years, a new mode of misconstrual has prevailed—the desire to exculpate the German people of guilt for the crimes of the Hitler era. I spoke recently with Mark Weitzman, the head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center's New York office, who went so far as to say that The Reader was a symptom of a kind of "Holocaust revisionism," which used to be the euphemistic term for Holocaust denial.
Weitzman mentioned three films in particular: In addition to The Reader, there was Tom Cruise's Valkyrie, which gave the impression that the Wehrmacht, the German army, was full of good men and true (identifiable in the film by their British accents) who had always opposed that lout Hitler with his whole silly Jewish obsession, when in fact the more we learn about the Wehrmacht's role, the more disgracefully complicit it turns out to have been with the mass murderers of the SS. Yes, a few Wehrmacht officers did plot against Hitler, but they waited to take action until the successful Normandy invasion, when it seemed Hitler would lose the war.
"The Valkyrie conspiracy took place in 1944," Weitzman told me. "If it had been 1941, it might have made a difference."
And then there was Cruise's character, Claus von Stauffenberg, very brave, it's true, in 1944. But back during the brutal war crime that was the 1939 invasion of Poland (the British magazine History Today reminds us), he was describing the Polish civilians his army was slaughtering as "an unbelievable rabble" made up of "Jews and mongrels." With friends like these ...
Moral: Don't go looking for heroes in the largely mythical "German resistance" to Hitler. The German resistance was not much more real or effectual than the French Resistance—its legend outgrew its deeds after the war. (Although it is worth seeking out the two movies about the tiny, brave-but-doomed, Munich-based "White Rose" resistance, The White Rose and Sophie Scholl: The Last Days, which tell the story of a few students who didn't—like the Valkyrie conspirators—believe the goal was to help Germany win the war more efficiently than Hitler, but to bear moral witness against the exterminators. For which they were brutally guillotined in Munich in 1943.)
The third film Weitzman mentions as an example of this soft revisionism is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, one I haven't been able to bring myself to see but that features a young German boy, son of Nazi parents, who lives near a concentration camp and befriends a young death camp "boy in striped pajamas." The tale is not dissimilar in saccharine sentiment to the recently revealed, Oprah-fied fraud about the girl who gave the death camp boy apples, although it avoids the happy ending of that treacly sham.
But at least they didn't give these two films Oscar nominations or awards like the disgraceful one given to Life Is Beautiful.
Still, cumulatively, Weitzman believes they achieve a sinister effect: "Where overt Holocaust denial has failed in America," Weitzman said, "the way it has not elsewhere, these films represent a kind of Holocaust revisionism that misconstrues the German role in it, which extended far beyond Hitler's circle." (Which reminds me of another example, The Reader's partner in exculpatory shame: Downfall, which did exactly that—make it seem as though Hitler and Goebbels and a few others were the source of all evil in Germany while the poor, unknowing German people were victims, too. It's revolting.)
In this repellent form of revisionism, most Germans (you know, the ones who helped bring Hitler to power, who enthusiastically joined in his hysterical Jew-hatred and his pogroms, who supported his mass deportations "to the East") were somehow ignorant of the extermination of the Jews going on "in the East." They presumably noticed the disappearance of the Jews from their midst (since they eagerly stole their apartments and everything valuable the Jews were forced to leave behind). I once confronted a spokesman for the German Consulate on a panel in New York who was pushing a version of this line; he'd referred to a recent poll that purported to show that the majority of Germans alive at the time of the extermination had—surprise!—no knowledge of it.
"What did they think?" I asked him. "The Jews all decided to go on vacation and forgot to come home?"
Please, let's not allow films like The Reader to misrepresent history by pretending the Germans—even those too young to fight—didn't know what was going on until (as The Reader would have it) after the war, when they learned about all the troubling things that some of their fellow citizens did "in the East."
Only then, the film asks us to believe, did these ordinary Germans find themselves shocked, shocked at the mass murder, the gassing, the industrialized killing. Germans had actually participated? So hard to believe! So few clues!
In fact, one of the most damning documents I uncovered in researching my book ExplainingHitler was a revelation that appeared in a Munich anti-Hitler newspaper, the MünchenerPost, on Dec. 9, 1931. It had been lost to history until I found it in the basement of a state archive. The courageous reporters of the social-democratic paper had gotten hold of a secret Nazi Party plan for the disposition of the Jews that first used what was to become the widespread euphemism for extermination: "Final Solution" (Endlössung), a word that left little doubt over the mass murder it euphemized. I've written about the difficulties I met with in trying to make their story into a film: Hollywood resists Hitler-related movies when they lack "a happy ending." But it's clear Germans could have known as early as 1931 (or 1926 if they'd bothered to read Mein Kampf).
They could have known if they'd read about the legal dehumanization of Jews in the Nuremberg laws of 1935 or the state-sponsored pogroms after Kristallnacht in 1938. And if they happened to be illiterate as in The Reader (something Cynthia Ozick dispatches as a fraudulent red-herring metaphoric excuse in an essay that examined the book), they could have heard it from Hitler's mouth in his infamous 1939 radio broadcast to Germany and the world, threatening extermination of the Jews if war started. You had to be deaf, dumb, and blind, not merely illiterate, to miss what Kate Winslet's character seems to have missed (while serving as a guard at Auschwitz!). You'd have to be exceedingly stupid. As dumb as the Oscar voters who nominated The Reader because it was a "Holocaust film."
But that's what The Reader is about: the supposedly difficult struggle with this slowly dawning postwar awareness. As Cynthia Ozick put it in her essay: "After the war, when she is brought to trial, the narrator ['Michael Berg'] acknowledges that she is guilty of despicable crimes—but he also believes that her illiteracy must mitigate her guilt. Had she been able to read, she would have been a factory worker, not an agent of murder. Her crimes are illiteracy's accident. Illiteracy is her exculpation."
Indeed, so much is made of the deep, deep exculpatory shame of illiteracy—despite the fact that burning 300 people to death doesn't require reading skills—that some worshipful accounts of the novel (by those who buy into its ludicrous premise, perhaps because it's been declared "classic" and "profound") actually seem to affirm that illiteracy is something more to be ashamed of than participating in mass murder. From the Barnes & Noble Web site summary of the novel: "Michael recognizes his former lover on the stand, accused of a hideous crime. And as he watches Hanna refuse to defend herself against the charges, Michael gradually realizes that she may be guarding a secret more shameful than murder." Yes, more shameful than murder!Lack of reading skills is more disgraceful than listening in bovine silence to the screams of 300 people as they are burned to death behind the locked doors of a church you're guarding to prevent them from escaping the flames. Which is what Hanna did, although, of course, it's not shown in the film. As I learned from the director at a screening of The Reader, the scene was omitted because it might have "unbalanced" our view of Hanna, given too much weight to the mass murder she committed, as opposed to her lack of reading skills. Made it more difficult to develop empathy for her, although it's never explained why it's important that we should.
And so the film never really questions the presumption that nobody could know and thus register moral witness against mass murder while it was going on. Who could have imagined it? That's the metaphoric thrust of the Kate Winslet character's "illiteracy": She's a stand-in for the German people and their supposed inability to "read" the signs that mass murder was being done in their name, by their fellow citizens. To which one can only say: What a crock! Or if Hollywood has its way: Here's your Oscar.
Hard to believe, but it's almost unfair to say it's the fault of ignorant West Coast types. I witnessed a shocking moment of this sort of deferential ignorance in an audience of supposedly sophisticated New Yorkers, many of them Jewish.
It was a relatively small early screening for "opinion-makers," hosted by a high-profile public-relations person. Harvey Weinstein, a producer of the film, stopped by to wave at the well-connected crowd (don't ask me why I was invited, probably because I wrote Explaining Hitler) before catching a flight to London, we were told.
There was already some inside-Hollywood controversy over the film since Weinstein's co-producer Scott Rudin had his name removed from it—officially because of a dispute over the release date and whether the film was "ready," although once I saw it, I wondered whether there was more to it than that.
The word was this screening was part of a multipronged Weinstein Oscar offensive on behalf of poor Oscar-less Kate Winslet, who was up for nomination for two pictures, Revolutionary Road (a non-Weinstein production) and The Reader.
Which was why I got an angry call from the publicist the next morning after the scene I (indirectly) caused at a Q&A with the director, Stephen Daldry, held after the screening. Since my girlfriend was out of town, I brought a friend who turned out to be both outraged and outspoken about the film (and he wasn't even Jewish).
Most of the questions to the British director were polite and deferential to the point of insipidness. After all, he was a British director and the screenplay was by a famous British playwright, David Hare. Still, there was one question that turned up something interesting that few reviewers seemed to have noticed.
Daldry said he'd had a big fight with the author of The Reader, Bernhard Schlink. In the novel, when Kate's mass murderer learns to read, one of the things she reads about is—guess what?—the Holocaust. We're led to believe that she's learning about it, or at least the extent of it, for the first time, from reading Primo Levi, Elie Wiesel, and Hannah Arendt, and is suitably horrified. You get the idea: Reading can develop a moral sense, a path toward redemption. (This candy-coated moral is probably what attracted Oprah when she selected The Reader for her book club and made the otherwise obscure German novel an American best-seller a decade ago.)
But Daldry said he and Hare eliminated the Holocaust education aspect of the novel (over the strong objections of Schlink) because he didn't want the film to seem to be about redemption; too many Holocaust films offer a kind of false redemptiveness, he said.
Well, good for him, but without that, he's made a film in which all the techniques of Hollywood are used to evoke empathy for an unrepentant mass murderer of Jews. The elimination of the Primo Levi reading list in the novel—however meretricious a gambit it is—deprives the literacy she achieves of any relationship to the Holocaust, which eliminates the fraudulent moral redemptiveness but also makes the film incoherent as a response to the Holocaust. Why should we care that she can read Chekhov's "Lady With Lapdog"?
Meanwhile, I could tell my friend was fuming. I was in a kind of state of numbed disbelief and rarely like to attract attention to myself by asking questions in forums such as these. My friend had no such qualms. He was outraged by the film, not just by its exculpatory thrust but by the way it achieved its end of evoking empathy for Kate Winslet with what he called "manipulative" nudity. (If you haven't seen the film, the first half-hour is devoted to Kate—in the postwar years before her arrest—seducing a teenage boy, whom she persuades to read to her before sex. There's a lot more sex than reading and a fairly shocking amount of nude close-ups of Kate's body. The teenager later becomes a law student who watches her eventual prosecution and helps her learn to read in prison. Literacy is sexy! Or something.)
The nudity, which I've had cause to reference before in a column on the irresistible (to culture-makers) attraction between Nazis and sex, gives new meaning to the word gratuitous. To my friend, it was a manipulative tool used to create intimacy with and thus empathy for an unrepentant mass murderer. And what's more—to shocked gasps, he said exactly that to the director in the Q&A session. And didn't stop there, calling The Reader a "dishonest and mediocre" film that used nudity to disguise its thematic nakedness.
There was consternation in the room, especially among the publicists, whose minions made sure to take our names after the screening. This resulted in a high-decibel call to me the next morning from the chief publicist, telling me she'd gotten "50 calls" from people at the screening saying how "rude" my outspoken friend was, upbraiding me for bringing an impolite interloper into the screening, telling me how important it was to "the industry" that films like this succeed in the hard times we were going through, and accusing me of everything but putting a horse's head in Harvey Weinstein's bed.
"You mean you're saying I could be the death of Hollywood?" I said, incredulously unaware of my secret superpowers. I tried to explain to her my view: that it wasn't me or my friend who was the problem, it was the movie. (She later called back somewhat contritely.)
In any case, I had thought that those voting for Oscar nominations would see the problems in this incoherent, exculpatory film. But I was wrong. Kate got her Oscar nomination for Harvey's film, not the other one. The Reader got one, too.
Please, Hollywood, don't compound the error by giving the Oscar to The Reader.

Constantly finding new ways to organize and package the titles in their wide-ranging Studio Canal library, Lionsgate sticks its neck out with an Andre Techine collection, offering a survey of four psychological studies by the serious-minded French director. Because Techine functions as a true auteur, orbiting the same themes throughout his career, the works form a more unified package than many of Lionsgate's star-oriented sets (one film, 1981's "Hotel des Ameriques," also appears in their recent Catherine Deneuve collection), but it goes without saying the director's portrait on the box isn't likely to sell as many units.
Deneuve and Techine have actually collaborated on five films so far, although only two make the cut here, the second being "My Favorite Season" (1993), a deep-rooted family portrait in which she and Daniel Auteuil play siblings grappling with the looming death of their strong-willed mother. Amid the adult emotions, the director also makes time for the family's youngest generation, a teen boy and girl competing for the son's Moroccan guest.
Though he was fortunate enough to work with established French stars, Techine was equally content directing nubile young unknowns, as he does in "Wild Reeds" (1994), his celebrated semi-autobiographical tale of sexual awakening in 1962, where boarding school shenanigans are overshadowed by the Algerian War. Of the four works sampled here, "Wild Reeds" is the lone film in which Techine manages to strike a balance between intellectual and erotic concerns, resulting in a full-bodied work that still holds up well as one of the classics of its decade.
The fourth film, 1991's "I Don't Kiss," about a young man who flees to Paris where he gets by hustling, has also improved with time, gaining added resonance in light of Techine's most recent film, "The Witnesses" (not included in the set, but featuring many of the same actors). In "I Don't Kiss," the hustler earns money sleeping with men (under the conditions of the title) but falls for a female prostitute that results in a harsh wake-up call. In "The Witnesses," Techine revisits the same territory through the lens of AIDS.
With no extras, the set basically allows audiences to discover Techine on their own terms, grappling as he does with various stories of sexual and/or romantic incompatibility. However, perhaps by packaging his films together, Lionsgate will succeed in introducing the intellectually curious to Techine's work.

Boat Brands
Carlisle's Marine, Inc. has been serving the boating needs of Delaware since 1946. Founded by Merle Carlisle, the company began in Newark as a part-time business building 12-16 wooden runabouts. In 1949, Merle and Carlisles Marine became an official Mercury Outboard dealer. The retail store was built on a piece of adjoining property as the company expanded. The business continued to grow, and in 1950, Merles son Merle Jr. came on board, taking part in the family business. Carlisles Marine had expanded into selling factory-built wooden boats by well-known names including Trojan, Penn Yann, and Owens. As inboard/outboard motors came on the market, Carlisles Marine took on the challenge. Few boats would accept the new equipment, so our team would acquire the original outboard versions and completely rebuild the transom to install the new inboard/outboards. The business continued to grow, and in the mid-1980s Merle Jr.s son Rick Carlisle joined the company, continuing the family tradition. Together, they expanded into sales of new boats and products including fishing boats, pleasure boats, and fishing tackle, making Carlisles Marine the areas go-to source for nautical needs in Delaware. Carlisles Marine finally outgrew the original location on Churchmans Rd in Newark, and moved thirty miles south to our current location in Smyrna, Delaware. Our new facility houses our growing business, allowing us to expand further into more boating and aquatic merchandise including accessories, crabbing supplies, tackle, bait, and even hunting gear. Throughout our decades of history and generations of family, one thing has remained the same. At Carlisles Marine, we always we take pride in our work and the products we sell, making us not only a top retailer and supplier of boats, repairs, and supplies, but also a trusted and reliable provider of boating services.

Raymond church is cooking up a wild fish and game dinnerBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
January 30. 2013 7:37PM
RAYMOND - On Thursday night, the smell of wild game and fish will fill the hall of Raymond Baptist Church during its third annual Wild Game dinner.
The event is hosted by the church's Outdoor Club, which was started by church-goer Les Houston three years ago.
The dinner is popular and free, so the 200 reserved seats were filled early and more than 50 people have their names on a waiting list.
The wild game is harvested by sportsmen and women both locally and all over the United States, as well as Canada.
This year, wild game will be offered from five different states and will include salmon, striped bass, squirrel, wild boar, bear, elk, venison, moose and pheasant.
The meat is gathered throughout the fall and then collected for distribution to volunteer cooks who prepare the various dishes and bring them on the night of the dinner.
On Tuesday night, Houston was preparing to start a batch of homemade squirrel stew.
Volunteers also spend a lot of time in the church kitchen the day of the event preparing other wild game dishes, salad, drinks and dessert.
Local merchants donate door prizes.
Houston said the event often attracts people, men in particular, who would not usually step foot in church on Sunday. The family-friendly event draws residents from Raymond and nearby communities.
This year, the event will feature a question and answer session with Chef Michael Klingingsmith on how to cook and prepare wild game meats.
"All we're trying to do with the wild game dinner is to reach out to the people in the community," Houston said.
That is the goal of many of the outdoor club's events throughout the year, including two New Hampshire hunting education classes, kayaking trips and fly-casting events.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — It was a party atmosphere along Barack Obama's motorcade route from the airport after he arrived in this Central American country for his first visit as president.
Thousands of locals, who are known as "Ticos," lined the road to welcome their fourth visiting American president. The most recent one to visit was Bill Clinton in 1997.
Municipal employees were given the day off to ease traffic.
Some of those who lined the roadway — two and three people deep — waved American flags. Others held homemade signs, including one that said "Fired Up!" — a reference to Obama's campaign slogan. More crowds gathered along the route between Obama's hotel and Casa Amarilla, the headquarters for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including hundreds of students in school uniforms.
"We're very happy to welcome our big brother," said retiree Ricardo Marin, 62, explaining the jubilant mood. "We hope they don't neglect us, that this visit will help our country."
Obama's reception here was vastly different from Mexico. There was no major crowd presence for Obama's travels in Mexico City on Thursday and Friday.
Excitement over Obama's visit wasn't shared widely, however.
"I had to walk more than a mile to get to my job," grumbled Luis Humberto Rodriguez Burgos, 26, who sells cellphones in the city center, which was shuttered and empty. "There are no clients, no tourists and we're losing money. Clearly if they close the city for a foreign president, that's not going to improve my working conditions, nor help me feed my children."
Obama and Costa Rica's president, Laura Chincilla, strolled to a courtyard at Casa Amarilla, or Yellow House, after they met and were greeted by about 100 schoolchildren, ranging in age from about 7 to 16. All were in uniform, and the younger ones waved U.S. and Costa Rican flags. Obama wore a broad grin as he stood encircled by the singing students.
They sang "I'm Tico" and "The First Time I Saw Limon," a reference to a city on the country's Caribbean coast.
As the children sang, thunder roared in the distance and the wind picked up.
After the songs, Obama praised the students, calling them "brave" and their performances "very good." He also asked for their names.
The students gushed as Obama invited them to pose for photos.
"What do we say?" he asked.
The students and Chinchilla said: "Cheese." Obama responded with, "Queso!" the Spanish word for cheese.
Obama opened his day by making his second visit to Mexico City's soaring, modernistic National Museum of Anthropology.
"Each time that I come, I've been inspired," he told a predominantly student audience.
Of course, last time he may have narrowly avoided getting sick.
In April 2009, Obama was he honored guest at a state dinner at the museum — just as the global swine flu outbreak was first surfacing in Mexico. Ultimately, the H1N1 strain killed thousands of people worldwide.
Obama never came down with the H1N1 flu. However, a security aide of his did — and passed it on to family members in the U.S.
AP White House Correspondent Julie Pace in San Jose, Costa Rica, and Associated Press writer Mark S. Smith in Washington contributed to this report.

Ever since I used to wake up early as a young child and turn on the morning farm report on TV, my still-sleeping parents knew they had an early riser. An active morning person, if you will. They can be excused if they didn't know they were also likely rearing an honest, ethical person.
